Think about how you hold out your arm when you're about to shake someone's hand, or how about the way your arms fall naturally to your side. Rather than twisting your forearm to abide the requirements of a traditional mouse, a vertical mouse lets your arm rest in a natural pose while you navigate. Movement is transferred onto the more powerful shoulder muscles to reduce strain on the wrist. Moving toward the tip, we find both buttons, giving the game away and proving that this is not in fact, a real Penguin. Those have 3 buttons. Pointer Accuracy - Pointer control as accurate as with any other high-quality mouse can be achieved. As can be seen in the upper illustration to the right, when the hand is placed on the Penguin Ambidextrous Vertical Mouse the twist of the bones is eliminated, tissues are no longer pinched, and the tension along the tendons is released. The relaxed arm is now able to move the mouse with ease, and the risk of developing a serious Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is greatly reduced.
Available in 3 sizes of both wired and rechargeable wireless versions, the penguin mouse will suit the hands of almost anyone. Penguin Ambidextrous Vertical MouseFeatures This feature can also be helpful for people that have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and want to regularly switch working with left or the right hand. With the large button (the bow-tie of the Penguin), switching is instant and very easy. Especially if you have the wireless version and don’t have to deal with the cable on your desk. P indicator light The scrolling works by turning the wheel horizontally. That works well although you might want to increase its sensitivity in the mouse settings on your computer, as it is not scrolling very fast in standard setting (but that’s a personal preference).Ergonomic Benefits Features Images Additional Resources Specifications Usage Tips Models Accessories You have to measure your hand and compare it to the size chart (see below), to know which size is best for you: Small, Medium or Large. If your hand size is in between sizes, I would definitely go one size up and get the bigger version. I decided I needed the Large. Wireless
The Penguin Vertical Mouse is one of Posturite’s own inventions, a vertical mouse with a ergonomic design that for some reason is inspired by… a penguin, the antarctic bird. I must say it does look original and the ergonomic design has ‘penguin’ elements nicely mixed with practical features. Which one to get Available in 3 sizes - see below (measure from wrist crease to tip of middle finger for correct size) As you reach the bottom of the penguin, the base flairs out to provide a stable base and prevent the heel of your hand from rubbing on the mouse pad. Then you need decide for yourself if you want a wired or a wireless version. Both have advantages and disadvantages, quite obviously, but I’ll state them here again. The wireless version gives you more freedom to move and takes up less space on your desk. It does, however, take up a USB port with the receiver, so you won’t gain a USB port compared to the wired version. Downside might be the loss of connection, which with a wired version never happens, but with the wireless connection could happen occasionally (although I haven’t experienced any issues with it so far). The wireless version needs to be charged regularly. I don’t know yet how often, but it’s a small downside, compared tho the wired version that never needs to be charged. The charging of the built in battery is easy though, via a special USB cable that comes with the device.
Unique design
When I start using the Penguin device, my Apple computer thinks that this is a Keyboard, so I have to cancel the Keyboard Identification process, but the Penguin already works as a mouse, and no installation of any drivers is necessary. The upright design of the Penguin mouse encourages thenatural 'handshake' position in the forearm to prevent forearm twisting and avoids exaggerated movements in the wrist. Using the larger muscle groups of the shoulder to move the mouse, Penguin mice help to alleviate common muscular injuries caused by traditional mouse use. Plug the other end of the charging cable firmly into your Penguin mouse – orange light should show on ‘P’ logo If this is true, it does seem to make sense. When using the Penguin and looking at my arm, it does indeed seem like a better position. It makes me realise that my wireless Apple keyboard is actually not ergonomically great at all: when switching from the Penguin to the keyboard, which happens hundreds of times during a work day of course, my arm does seem to have to turn a lot. Time to look into one of the more ergonomic keyboards, I will keep you posted on which one I will get. Control
The idea behind the Penguin mice is to enable users to use both their right and left hands to share the workload and minimise overuse of one hand. The Penguin mouse is also perfect for hot-desking by enabling both left and right handed users to share the same desk and utilise the ergonomic benefits of the mouse. I have selected the wireless version, so I need to take the small 2.4Ghz USB receiver which is stored safely at the bottom of the device, and put it in my USB hub. The USB receiver, DPI button and ON/OFF switch and Laser eye at the bottom of the Penguin Vertical Mouse DPI Selection Indicator: A blue LED behind the scroll wheel flashes to indicate pointer speed selection.If the cursor does not move, then retry step 3 and plug the Penguin USB cable into a different USB port on your computer
